d. Read Other Bloggers Archives – An area of blogging that frustrates me is that once a post slips off the front page of a blog it seems to lose it’s worth. The problem with dates on blog posts (and I see some positives with it also) is that it can make very relevant posts seem ‘dated’. The fact is that there must be an incredible wealth of knowledge locked away in the archives of some of your favorite blogs. Spend some time scanning them and you’ll probably find hundreds of ideas that you could bounce off with some posts of your own.

About a month ago I basically read your whole archives…or all the most interesting posts…tremendous help

Perhaps you could shoot them a little email to let them know you noticed…

Point “e” is an important one. I didn’t know whether to feel flattered yesterday when I discovered a major blogging network (of the $80 million variety) had taken one of my posts almost word for word including choosing the same photo and the same two links or to be ticked off that they made no effort to give me the customary ‘tip o’ the hat’. I think I’ll just keep my chin up and feel flattered for the moment.

In most of the blogs that I am involved with, there is no shortage of topics to write about. If I do have a problem, it is generally stems from a lack of desire to write.

I am a stickler for consitancy and I feel an obligation to keep up with the latest information – but I don’t want to sacrifice quality. In these situations I have found that your suggestion to go outside my niche – even outside of blogging has been a big help. Reading something that is well written – be it a book, magazine, or blog has always inspired me to be a better writer.
